NASCAR heads to Daytona today for the Firecracker 250 race on the Xfinity Series schedule as the drivers begin to separate themselves in the points standings. The race takes place on the Fourth of July, harkening back to a time when the Sprint Cup Firecracker traditionally took place on Independence Day. Today’s race has a late start time and airs on a surprise TV channel as well as a live stream online option.

The NASCAR Xfinity Series points standings heading into today’s race at Daytona are topped by Chris Buescher, who holds a twenty-nine point lead over second place Ty Dillon. Last year’s points winner Chase Elliott is forty-two points behind in third place, while Regan Smith is sixty-two points back, and Darrell Wallace Jr rounds out the top five. Daytona International Speedway is one of the most noted stock car tracks and is host to multiple NASCAR races annually, as today’s race will draw a crowd in the hundreds of thousands.

Today’s Subway Firecracker 250 Xfinity Series race at Daytona has a start time schedule of 7:30pm eastern time on television, with a green flag of 7:45pm, and airs on TV channel Fox Sports 1 / FS1. The race is also being made available as a live stream online.
